Visible Bird Migration - Burton In Kendal
 from 1000hrs to 1120hrs 
All movement South/South East unless stated otherwise. Wind: South 15-20mph, 8c, 100% Cloud, Horrendous stormy weather from first light, slightly reduced by 1000hrs. Got to site and started raining yet again with strong winds from South (side wind to birds). Again the birds were just travelling through the rain at times very heavy and for at least 50% of the watch. In fact I now feel like a fully paid up member of the "gentlemen vismiggers club", because these days its more a matter of standing there with umbrella in one hand. Had to break off at 1120hrs. Recommenced at 1200hrs for a short period. 

Total Chaffinches: 208 

Chaffinch: 142 (best parties: 2x9,2x8,7) 
Meadow Pipit: 1 
Goldfinch: 6 (one party) 
Kestrel: 2 (North West). 

1200hrs to 1315hours. 

Chaffinch: 66 (8W) (best parties: 5,4s) 
Goldfinch: 5 (one party) 
Alba Wagtail: 1 
Turdus species: 1 

Dunnocks everywhere (scores plus!) and messing about in the "beet" crops , seeing some of them come in and land in the hedgerows.
